Chapter 454 The Secret Realm Opens
Chapter 454 The secret realm opens
Unconsciously, it has been a year since Liu Yu came to Xisha.
Since Shi Renjie released the news about the Holy Fire Secret Realm, the situation in Xisha Land has become increasingly chaotic.
At the slightest sign of trouble, the monks gathered in the scene and started fighting over a disagreement.
There are even countless people who commit murder and arson.
…
…
one year later.
Gale Fairy City.
The entire Xisha land is neither big nor small, bordering the evil spirits to the south and the central part of the Seven Nations Alliance to the east.
The territory is about the size of three to five Chu states, and nearly one-fifth of it extends into the area controlled by the good and the evil.
When the Shenshamen is strong or the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is strong, they can naturally control Xisha completely, but when they are weak, there is nothing they can do.
At this time, after some turmoil in the Yan Kingdom and the Nanyu Kingdom, the Seven Nations Alliance's strength declined slightly, and it no longer supported Shenshamen's strong control of the complete Xisha.
Gale Fairy City has become the de facto border, and to the west is the area controlled by the good and the evil.
This city is an important border area, and its importance is far beyond that of ordinary fairy cities. It not only plays the role of guarding against foreign enemies, but also serves as a place for low-level monks from the three parties to communicate with each other. It is a large fairy city comparable to the "Xianque City" of Baiyun Temple.
The level of prosperity is even higher than that of Xishafang City.
In the dusk, seven rays of escaping light soared into the sky from outside Gale City, heading towards the area controlled by the good and the devil further to the west.
The price of each kind of immortal cultivation resources is different in each place. Many monks like to buy from low-price areas and resell them in high-price areas, earning the price difference by buying and selling.
However, with the rampant evil cultivators, this trade route connecting good demons and the Seven Nations Alliance is not safe. Evil cultivators often kill and seize treasures here.
As a result, without a certain degree of strength, there is no qualification for buying and selling business at all.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to see several or even a dozen foundation-building monks traveling together.
When some monks saw the seven rays of light heading south, they just thought they were going on "business" again and didn't think much about it.
Among the seven rays of escaping light, there was a man with a tall build, an ordinary face, and bronze skin, who was driving a yellow flying knife weapon.
It's Liu Yu who has been disguised!
Although his strength is remarkable, because he is a "physical practitioner" and his realm is not outstanding, his escape is not very fast.
It was very difficult to keep up with everyone's speed, and this was without everyone flying at full speed.
After all, it is well known to the world that the escape speed of long-distance flights is slow, and it is impossible for Liu Yu to violate this.
Facing the intriguing looks of other monks, he just smiled awkwardly.
However, although it was slow, no one complained. After all, Liu Yu's identity as a second-level alchemist was there.
Over the past year, with enough spiritual herbs and elixirs available, the value he created has been obvious to all.
In addition, his strength is definitely not weak, so all the members, including Tang Tianbao, must look up to him.
And relying on the "value" of his creation and his act of killing the god Samana monk to prove his innocence, he also successfully joined the team exploring the secret realm.
Including Liu Yu, there are seven people in the team.
They are: Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen, Yang Shu, Liu Yu, and three core members.
Everyone's strength is not weak, and they are all in the upper class in the foundation building stage. Except for Liu Yu, no one's cultivation level is lower than that in the later stage of foundation building.
"It has left the scope of Gale City."
Controlling a flying knife weapon, Liu Yu flashed this idea and was a little eager to try it.
During this year, he has conducted on-site surveys and knows exactly where the secret place is. At this time, he is just pretending not to know.
"As long as you lead the way honestly and don't affect Mr. Liu's ability to seize the Three Yuan Fruit, everything will be fine."
"otherwise."
While flying away, a cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.
In his eyes, Tang Tianbao was very careful and made several big circles in a row.
After confirming that no monk was following him, he rushed towards the real location.
After leaving the Seven Nations Alliance, they flew in circles for another five hours before stopping over a patch of sand.
According to Liu Yu's prior visit, this place is about three to four thousand miles away from Dafeng City.
Cacti, crooked neck trees, lizards, snakes and insects
On the surface, there is nothing surprising about this place. As far as the eye can see, there are yellow sand and desert-specific animals and plants.
In spiritual awareness, it is also a place where spiritual energy is thin.
However, underneath the seemingly ordinary environment, there is something completely different!
Tang Tianbao raised his hand slightly, and all the rays of light stopped.
Then he patted the storage bag, took out a token with a sandy yellow color and a red flame engraved on the surface, and began to move the magic weapon and recite the incantation.
Holy Fire Order!
Liu Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and she instantly recognized the token.
During the heyday of the Holy Fire Religion, the Holy Fire Order was controlled by the leader, which to some extent represented the leader's identity and had very powerful authority, only under the Supreme Elder.
In the period of decline, the Jindan cultivator became the Supreme Elder and no longer had the position of leader, so the order was taken over by the "Holy Son".
The reason why Liu Yu tried so hard to infiltrate Tang Tianbao's team was not only to avoid the risks in the secret realm, but also because the entrance level was not easy to pass.
If you can't pass through the entrance, it's impossible to enter the secret realm.
According to the traitor who Song Haocang tortured, the entire secret realm was maintained by formations and was arranged by the Supreme Elder of the Nascent Soul Stage of the Holy Fire Sect.
The main components are one set of fourth-order formations, five sets of third-order formations, and several first- and second-order formations.
The fourth-level formation is mainly to maintain the stability and safety of the secret realm, and the entrance to the secret realm is protected and hidden by a set of third-level formations.
With Liu Yu's current strength, even if he used his full strength and spent time to kill the power of the formation, it would be almost impossible to break through the formation's contact entrance, and it would be difficult to conceal the movement of a strong attack.
Therefore, we can only think of other methods.
"Rumble"
The Holy Fire Token shot out a red light, and after a moment of silence, the sand began to rumble.
A layer of light yellow aura appeared, and then slowly disappeared.
Liu Yu could feel the tyrannical power contained in it, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Amidst the rising and falling sounds, the sand gradually sunk downwards, and finally a wide "sand pit" appeared.
The sand pit is about five feet long and wide. Looking down through the sand pit, there is a straight downward staircase.
It seems that it has been covered with a thick layer of dust because no one has moved around or cleaned it for a long time.
"Let's go."
Tang Tianbao said hello, and he stepped down to escape the light first. He stepped into the sand pit and stepped on the steps, leaving a deep footprint.
"puff"
The moment he sat on the steps, something seemed to have been triggered. The candlesticks on both sides suddenly glowed with light, one after another until they reached the depths of the passage.
A red flame lit up on the candlestick, beating and burning slowly, emitting gentle light and temperature, bringing light to this dark space.
This was true a thousand years ago, and it will be true a thousand years from now.
Tang Tianbao, Zhou Ziwen and others paused slightly in their steps. Instead of fear and worry in their eyes, there was a bit of piety in their eyes.
Afterwards, they performed a religious ceremony before continuing to walk down.
Liu Yu secretly looked at everything around him, bowed in the same manner, and followed closely behind.
The seven people walked all the way down, neither fast nor slow, leaving a deep footprint along the way.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I penetrated a layer of light curtain and arrived at the end of the road, a spotless space the size of a basketball court.
Seeing everyone disappearing behind the light curtain, Liu Yu took a deep breath, tested with his hands and found nothing unusual, and then rushed towards the light curtain.
As if he had penetrated the barrier of a layer of thin paper, he easily passed through the light curtain without any obstruction, and came to the space behind.
"Teleportation array!"
Liu Yu's consciousness spread out instantly, and he saw the scene in this space clearly, and his heart suddenly moved.
A vermilion altar is located in the center of the space.
On the altar, various materials were refined and arranged regularly, forming a faint pattern of a six-pointed star.
With his shallow knowledge of formations, he could only recognize that this was a teleportation formation, but he had no idea of its principles.
However, this place is not too far from the secret realm. It should be just a very short distance teleportation array.
"Here are the founders of the sect, today is the twenty-eighth generation of the Holy Son."
While Liu Yu was looking at him, Tang Tianbao's lips were moving, muttering something unknown, and his voice gradually became inaudible.
However, judging from the solemn look on this person's face, he was probably paying homage to the ancestors of the sect and begging for blessings for a smooth trip.
Over the past year, Liu Yu gained trust through various means and successfully joined the team.
But he was still confused as to the purpose of his trip.
Even Zhou Ziwen and Mr. Yang didn't know.
It seems that only the "Holy Son" and the Supreme Elder can know the purpose of coming here every time the secret realm opens.
When the secret realm was established back then, the founder of the Holy Fire Sect at the Nascent Soul stage, for some unknown reason, set it up so that only monks below the Golden Core stage could enter.
If the golden elixir stage monks forcefully introduce it, the secret realm will collapse directly, and all the spiritual objects and magic weapons in it will be destroyed.
Therefore, every time the Holy Fire Sect enters a team, it is led by the Holy Son, while Elder Jindan can only cover outside.
However, Shi Renjie is already the last supreme elder of the Holy Fire Sect. After his death, there are no more Golden Core cultivators in the legacy of the Holy Fire Sect, so they can only act more cautiously.
And that set of fourth-order formations also involves a little bit of the mystery of space, and will be closed for decades every time it is opened.
During the intervening time, even the correct teleportation array could not be entered.
Seeing Tang Tianbao's actions, Liu Yu, thinking about his current identity, could only show a "pious" look on his face, and followed the instructions again.
After saluting, Tang Tianbao finally stopped talking and began to inlay spiritual stones on the teleportation array.
"buzz"
As soon as the spiritual stone was put in, the formation had an energy source, and a hazy spiritual light suddenly lit up, and it began to vibrate slightly.
"Through this teleportation array, we can enter the secret realm."
"Within the secret realm, there are many mechanisms left by the ancestors. It is very dangerous for us. If we are not careful, we may lose our lives."
"Therefore, everyone, please follow my footsteps and don't act rashly."
"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk!"
Standing in the center of the formation, Tang Tianbao warned with a serious expression.
"clear."
Everyone nodded, looking a little eager to try, and stood on the teleportation array.
What did the ancestors of those days leave behind?
magic weapon? Golden elixir? Spiritual thing?
Various speculations flashed through his mind, and Zhu Xiu had expectations.
Even Tang Tianbao's eyes were full of enthusiasm and excitement, but also a little uneasy.
It seems that there is also some uncertainty about the next harvest.
Liu Yu lowered his eyes and secretly remained vigilant, not knowing what was on the other side of the teleportation array.
However, he was tense and ready to take action at any time.
"buzz"
The vibrations gradually became stronger, and the aura became stronger and stronger.
Finally, when the spiritual light of the formation reached a certain level, a secret wave rippled out.
Looking back again, there was no one on the teleportation array.
…
…
Not long after Liu Yu, Tang Tianbao and the other seven people disappeared in the teleportation array, another group of monks dressed in black came to the sand.
The leader was an old man with white eyebrows. The spiritual pressure around his body was extremely strong, reaching the level of the golden elixir stage.
Golden elixir monk!
As if he knew some news, his golden elixir level consciousness carefully scanned the sand.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the white-browed old man's expression changed, as if he had discovered something, and the magic weapon of his life was shot out in an instant.
"boom!!!"
Instead of the imagined sight of yellow sand filling the sky, the magic weapon was blocked by a layer of light yellow light curtain.
"This is it."
The white-browed old man was not surprised but happy.
Realizing that a strong attack would take too long, he quickly took out the array flag disk and fired at each selected node with a flick.
He actually wanted to set up a third-level formation to break the formation!
The formation flags and disks were inserted one by one, and after a series of skillful operations, a black-smelling formation covered the yellow sandy land.
I don’t know how the white-browed old man operated. The black-clothed monks under his command could only see that the black energy of the formation he arranged continued to spread towards the light yellow light curtain.
Like gangrene attached to the bone!
"Bang bang bang"
Like a chemical effect, like water and fire being incompatible, the black gas came into contact with the yellow light, causing a series of explosions.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the light yellow light curtain gradually dimmed, and the roar of explosions slowly subsided.
"Rumble"
The white-browed old man used his magic power to forcefully open the passage.
"Huh."
Seeing the footprints on the stairs, his sharp eyes focused, and he instantly realized with his rich experience that they were left not long ago.
"No, someone got there first."
"Go quickly."
With his disciples and grandchildren, the white-browed old man quickly walked into the passage.
After erasing the traces and all the monks entering, the passage gradually closed again.
At the same time, a hundred miles away from the entrance, a group of monks in white robes were busy.
In the open space, a teleportation array gradually took shape. It was somewhat similar to the one Liu Yu and others were riding in!
"Senior brother, there is another spatial fluctuation."
"Although I don't know where the entrance to the secret realm is, I have already locked the direction and approximate location of the gap in the secret realm based on the two fluctuations observed by the "celestial observer."
"Once the teleportation array is set up, as long as you try a few more times, you will be very confident in teleporting it in."
A female cultivator with smooth skin, beautiful appearance, and a lotus mark between her eyebrows showed a smile and opened her eyes and said.
In her hands, she held a basketball-sized ball artifact, which was covered with mysterious runes.
